Hello Lourens, Great updates! I needed that bit of inspiration to keep up with my own chilies! hehe All the seeds I got from you popped up already! I planted 3 of each variety, and only one of the Mozambique Peri Peri was to shy to pop up through the dirt. Lost one of the Fatalis as it...

We need more updates and pics!! Updates and PICS!!!!!! Why do you torture us so?

I am growing out Chacoense "Most Prolific" from Pepperlover. Really small and delicate leaves. I have no idea what the pods taste like or their heat level, but looking forward to experimenting. Anyone grow this out before? I think I will keep one of them indoors and see how it does.

Is goats weed one and the same as the Vietnamese tear jerker?

I am actually trying the cloning with honey experiment. Not with peppers, but a few clippings of some cane roses I want to propagate more in my yard, and an apple tree clipping (I never thought you could, but apparently, you can... though the proof will be in the pudding). The rose clippings...

Not to hijack this thread, but didn't want to make a new thread to clutter up this forum: Is there a way to search for glogs for people in a certain area? For instance, I am still a bit 'green' to growing peppers, and thought I could learn a lot from growers around my area (or in the same...

Is their another parcel of land available next to where you are growing? Maybe it is time to pack up and move there. Hot weather, hot peppers and monkeys to play with!! Yippee!!

I actually use styrofoam egg containers. I plant one seed in every cell and keep checking it every day or two for sprouts. I don't use a heating mat either - I just place the containers on top of my fridge. Seems to be working really well, as I get around 90% germination (except I am zero %...

As per a suggestion above by Vegas Chili, has anyone tried Sundew plants? I wonder if they would work better than sticky paper. I don't think a Venus Fly Trap would work - I think the hairs are not sensitive enough for the majority of gnats, with the possible exception of the largest ones...

At the very least, you have lots of room for error if you end up burning a batch while smoking, or being overly-creative and making a terrible sauce. If you have lots of extra, might as well try a wide variety of things and see how it turns out! Hopefully you will have enough room to grow them...

I had a hell of a time with these things last year. This year, I used all new equipment - cups, soil,and anything at all, just in case there would be some viable eggs attached somewhere. Well, they came back anyways - had to be the soil I bought. Anyways, I keep a small computer case fan in...

Thanks for the answers guys! Interesting that some seedlings come up purple, and others green. I will grow them all out anyways, so I will compare if they are any different when it comes to pods. Sounds like it is just 'normal' though! Thanks again!

I ordered seeds from PepperLover this year (and they were great so far!), and as part of my order I received some Bhut Jolokia Purple seeds as a gift. I decided to germinate some. I threw 4 in, and 3 successfully germinated. One of the seedlings looks different from the others. I searched...

I wonder if you can find this brand near your place: http://p6.storage.canalblog.com/64/54/336500/59580258.jpg This is fairly typical tasting, though I find home-brews always much better. But these are non-cooked and fermented pepper pastes with only salt added. Something to try. I am...

They boil the peppers first? i don't think I have tried that yet. I just wash them, grind them up and let them ferment. No cooking at all. I find that the pepper's taste really comes through nicely, and I am looking forward to trying some different varieties in this way. Plus, for some...
